This is not good. This was really not a good situation.

Judith felt like bursting into tears, but she held it back with all her strength. She would rather explode in anger, although crying wouldn’t solve anything as well.

She barely suppressed the emotions trying to surge up within her body with the remaining bit of reason. However, with her trembling clenched fist, not completely dispelled of the fear, Judith shook under the force.

“Do you really think it will go as His Majesty wishes? I have a family too. There are people who will look for me if I disappear!”

She had the Viscount, whom she spent most of her life with. The Vaisil Dukedom, where she lived as the lady of the house. And above all, there is the devil who protected her.

At that moment, Judith recalled the ruby necklace she had been carrying with her all along. Yes, this was it. Derrick could know if she was in danger. The necklace was said to be a shield in times of crisis. There hadn’t been a more reliable ally than this necklace.

“Yeah, I guess you also have someone important to you.”

“…”

“But, I seem to have forgotten to mention, I am the Emperor of this empire.”

Killiton pushed her shoulder down and made her lie down. While she was struggling, a male servant who stood nearby approached them and bound Judith’s hands. Killiton covered her mouth with his lips when she screamed in defiance. With his free hand, he wiped away the tears that had formed on Judith’s neck.

“If I decide to do something, there is nothing I can’t do to succeed.”

The moment she heard those words, Judith suddenly remembered the encounter with Sylvia Wirrel in the main hall of the palace. Was the reason she was there that day really not related to Killiton?

“No way, Sylvia Wirrel, she wouldn’t…”

Killiton frowned at the unexpected name that came out of her mouth.

“Sylvia Wirrel? Why is that woman’s name mentioned here?”

As if he guessed what she was thinking, he revealed a sinister smile.

“The infidelity between those two is none of my concern. Why blame me for the tangled mess they got into just because they like each other?”

Up to this point, there was no reason for him to lie. Perhaps the thought that the two might be connected caused Judith to become confused.

Meanwhile, Killiton’s fingers touched the ruby necklace in the darkness. As he examined it closely, he furrowed his brow in apparent confusion. The moment when she stood by Derrick’s side with the necklace came to his mind.

As Killiton was about to tear it off, there was a loud crash.

Bang!

Thud!

The sound of something rolling violently echoed in their ears. The door that was almost closed, opened as if it was going to break, and a fully armored knight flew and crashed against the back wall. The sight of the fallen knight was so gruesome that it seemed as if he was not dead. Killiton’s eyebrows twitched in a displeasing manner.

“What is this?”

Before his irritated exclamation subsided, two knights collapsed inside the door as though they had been pushed back. One of them had a shiny black boot embedded in his shoulder. The harsh stomping that sounded similar to trampling on something, gave off a painful scream from the knight.
